Color Standards for Cosmetics and Hair Dyes

Coloring substances are used in cosmetics like lipsticks, mascara and eye shadow. However, some of these compounds cause allergic contact dermatitis and are therefore not allowed in the EU. Similarly, hair dye products are regulated and some substances are banned in many countries.

For precise quality control of cosmetic and hair dye products Sigma-Aldrichs offers neat and deuterated standards for several allergenic colors, banned in the EU. Find our complete color standard portfolio at sigma-aldrich.com/colorstandards
